OP is a totally new game. I still can't believe that AI fighters repair when damaged now. Fighting Hydrans is quite fun now. I have had the treat of seeing a damaged captured ship dis-engage all by itself without having to stop and tractor it. In my latest game I saw something completely new. A damaged AI fighter decided all on its own that rejoining the carrier was suicide, so the fighter disengaged off the map! I know that it may seem like a very small detail. However, I have been playing EAW for a very long time, and I must say that this is very refreshing to me, and it does make a difference. Well done, OP patchers and testers!
